Microsoft Intune offers a unified approach to endpoint security and device management. Organizations looking to harness Intune’s capabilities often discover the need to restructure their environment—perhaps they’ve merged with another company, rebranded, or expanded into new regions.
This is where the concept of Intune Device Migration takes center stage.
A well-planned Intune migration involves transferring device enrollments, policies, apps, and configurations into a new or optimized environment without causing significant downtime or confusion for end-users. Failure to plan carefully can lead to inconsistent security policies, device enrollment issues, or data leaks.
Microsoft Intune delivers robust cloud-based management for Windows devices. It supports policy-driven security, app distribution, and conditional access—making it easier to protect corporate data across a variety of endpoints.
Intune’s integration with other Microsoft services also ensures seamless user identity and access management.
At CloudSolvers, we have extensive experience helping clients leverage Intune’s capabilities to centralize and automate device oversight. Our role is to ensure your Intune Device Migration unfolds smoothly—whether you’re unifying multiple tenants or simply reorganizing your existing environment to accommodate new policies and compliance rules.
A typical scenario involves the need to migrate Intune devices to a new tenant—or to multiple tenants—due to corporate restructuring. For instance:
In these cases, the goal is to maintain the continuity of security policies, apps, and device configurations while ensuring data isolation where needed.
Another scenario is when businesses decide to overhaul their existing environment, either to upgrade from an older on-premises MDM system or to restructure their Intune tenant. This can involve:
Ensuring a smooth device configuration migration is paramount, as misconfiguration can lead to inconsistent policy applications or even locked-out devices.
Strict industry regulations or newly introduced data protection laws often prompt organizations to enhance their device policies. Intune’s rich capabilities for conditional access, encryption, and data loss prevention help meet these compliance requirements.
However, migration is sometimes necessary to reorganize policies, push updated security baselines, or ensure that newly acquired devices meet regulatory standards without delay.
Perhaps the most significant concern when undertaking an Intune Device Migration is security. Any oversight could expose company data to unauthorized access.
For instance, devices could lose their conditional access policies, or users might inadvertently be granted excessive privileges during the transition. Organizations must maintain continuous adherence to internal security protocols and external regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI DSS.
A seamless device configuration migration requires transferring not just the enrollment records but also the policies tied to each device. This includes Wi-Fi configurations, VPN profiles, certificate profiles, and app protection policies.
If these configurations are lost or incorrectly assigned, end-users may lose access to critical business resources, or they may be required to manually reconfigure their devices.
It is essential to minimize the impact on daily operations. Frequent device reboots, repeated enrollment prompts, or broken app access can frustrate employees and hamper productivity.
Effective communication and carefully orchestrated pilot tests can prevent these pitfalls and ensure that users are prepared for any changes to device behavior.
Microsoft and several third-party providers offer scripts and tools that can automate portions of a migration, such as exporting device lists, policies, or configurations. For example, the Microsoft Graph API can facilitate scripting tasks related to Intune.
However, a purely automated approach is rarely sufficient. Manual checks and strategic decision-making are typically required to handle exceptions, custom configurations, and special licensing scenarios.
Our engagement begins with a thorough discovery process. We work hand in hand with your IT stakeholders to understand:
The result is a detailed project plan that outlines every step of your Intune Device Migration, complete with milestones, responsibilities, and success metrics.
Before executing a full-scale migration, CloudSolvers conducts a pilot test:
Pilot testing allows us to refine the migration strategy and address unexpected obstacles without affecting the broader organization.
After successful pilot testing, we proceed with the main rollout:
Once the migration is complete, our work doesn’t end. We offer post-migration services to ensure your new environment remains stable and effective:
Our consultants hold multiple Microsoft certifications and have hands-on experience managing everything from small-scale migrations to complex, multi-tenant consolidations. We stay current with Microsoft’s frequent updates to Intune so that your environment benefits from the latest best practices.
No two organizations have the same starting point or objectives. CloudSolvers tailors each migration plan to fit your unique environment, compliance requirements, and user behaviors.
By conducting a thorough assessment, we identify exactly which policies and apps need to be replicated—or revised—in the new tenant or configuration.
From initial planning to final documentation, CloudSolvers covers all the bases. You won’t need to juggle multiple vendors to achieve a successful Intune Device Migration.
We coordinate the entire project, collaborate with your internal teams, and remain available for 24/7 support if any issues arise during or after the transition.
Over the years, we’ve helped numerous clients navigate challenging Intune migrations, including cross-tenant moves and large-scale device enrollments. Our case studies and testimonials reflect our ability to mitigate risks, reduce downtime, and exceed performance benchmarks.
We pride ourselves on our methodical approach and commitment to long-term client success.
A successful Microsoft Intune migration can transform your device management practices, streamline policy administration, and strengthen security. However, it also requires thorough planning, precise execution, and a firm grasp of Microsoft’s ecosystem.
